With the increasing competition of the automobile market, the aluminum alloy has low density, high strength, especially high-quality steel, good plasticity, can be processed into various types of materials, and has the characteristics of excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and the like, so that the aluminum alloy part becomes one of the common materials for automobiles. For example, all existing battery separators are made of AlSi7Mg aluminum alloy and welded in aluminum alloy frames to separate batteries, so that potential safety hazards such as explosion caused by extrusion and cracking of the batteries when an automobile is impacted are prevented.
The existing AlSi7Mg aluminum alloy comprises, by mass percentage, Si 6.5-7.5%, Mg0.45-0.7%, Ti0.1-0.2%, Mn less than or equal to 0.1%, Fe less than or equal to 0.19%, Cu less than or equal to 0.05%, Zn less than or equal to 0.07%, and the balance of aluminum and inevitable impurities; the elongation is more than or equal to 7 percent, and the ductility is low. Because the elongation rate of the AlSi7Mg aluminum alloy is low, in the actual forming process of the bottom plate of the battery tray, the battery separator is easy to crack after an impact test is carried out on the aluminum alloy due to the low elongation rate, and the produced parts cannot meet the mechanical property requirement of high elongation rate, thereby causing potential safety hazards. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop a high elongation aluminum alloy having an elongation of more than 10%.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide an aluminum alloy with high elongation to solve the technical problem of low elongation of the existing aluminum alloy material.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme: the high-elongation aluminum alloy comprises the following raw materials in percentage by mass: 6 to 8 percent of silicon, 0.15 to 0.3 percent of magnesium, 0.4 to 1 percent of manganese, less than or equal to 0.15 percent of iron, 0.01 to 0.03 percent of strontium, 0.1 to 0.25 percent of lanthanum-cerium mixture, and the balance of aluminum and inevitable impurities.
The principle and the advantages of the scheme are as follows:
1. compared with the AlSi7Mg aluminum alloy in the prior art, the aluminum alloy material obtained by the scheme has lower magnesium and iron contents by optimizing the metal elements in the alloy; such as controlling Fe content in alloy, reducing brittleness of needle FeAl 3 The content of Fe, the harmful influence of Fe is eliminated, particularly, the cracking effect of the needle-shaped compound on the die-casting aluminum alloy matrix is reduced, the elongation of the aluminum alloy material is obviously improved, and the plasticity of the alloy material is improved; the content of Mg is controlled, and the Mn element is used for compensating the Mg element, so that the reduction of the elongation rate caused by overhigh content of the Mg is avoided; through the action, the aluminum alloy material prepared by the invention has high thermal conductivity, excellent mechanical property and high elongation.
2. According to the invention, by adding different types of rare earth elements, the alloy components and the structure are optimized, harmful impurity elements are purified by using rare earth, and crystal grains are refined, so that the purpose of fine grain strengthening is achieved, and meanwhile, the form of a compound among iron-rich multi-element metals in the die-casting aluminum alloy is effectively changed; if the mixed lanthanum-cerium rare earth is added in a proper amount, the functions of refining and purifying aluminum liquid and refining the structure are achieved, and the mixed rare earth, Si, Fe and the like coexist at a crystal boundary to form an Si-Fe eutectic structure, so that the shape of the Si-Fe eutectic structure in the aluminum alloy is improved, the shape of the Si-Fe eutectic is changed from a thick needle shape into a fine fiber shape, and the strength of the alloy is effectively improved; if a proper amount of strontium element is added, the Si eutectic form in the die-casting aluminum alloy can be effectively changed, so that the elongation of the material is effectively improved. The research of the applicant proves that the lanthanum-cerium rare earth element and the strontium element in the scheme play a synergistic effect role in the prepared aluminum alloy, the elongation of the aluminum alloy is jointly improved, the elongation of the obtained aluminum alloy is enabled to be more than or equal to 11.4%, and the phenomenon that the aluminum alloy material has potential safety hazards due to stamping cracking easily caused by low elongation in the prior art is remarkably improved.

By adopting the scheme, the two kinds of rare earth of lanthanum and cerium are mixed into the rare earth mixture in advance, so that when the aluminum alloy material is prepared, enough lanthanum-cerium-rare earth mixture reacts with the ferrosilicon serving as the aluminum alloy raw material to generate a Si-Fe eutectic structure, the Si and Fe eutectic form in the die-casting aluminum alloy is effectively changed, and the elongation of the material is effectively improved.

In the preparation process of the high-elongation aluminum alloy, the dosage of impurity elements is within the range of the claims (the weight of impurities is less than or equal to 0.5%, the high-elongation aluminum alloy comprises the following raw materials, by mass, 0.11-0.16% of titanium, less than or equal to 0.0009% of calcium, less than or equal to 0.04% of phosphorus, less than or equal to 0.0001% of beryllium, less than or equal to 0.04% of zinc, less than or equal to 0.04% of tin, less than or equal to 0.04% of lead, less than or equal to 0.04% of nickel and less than or equal to 0.04% of chromium), and the dosage of refining agent raw materials is within the range of the claims (15-25 parts of sodium chloride, 15-25 parts of potassium chloride, 3-10 parts of sodium fluosilicate, 2-5 parts of sodium hexafluoroaluminate, 5-15 parts of sodium carbonate and 3-10 parts of calcium fluoride), so that the high-elongation aluminum alloy can be obtained, and the elongation of the high-elongation aluminum alloy is more than 11.4. And in the reaction steps S1-S5, the aluminum alloy with the elongation rate higher than 11.4 is obtained under any combination of the melting temperature of the aluminum of 650-750 ℃, the melting temperature of the auxiliary material of 760-820 ℃, the melting temperature of the supplementary material of 700-750 ℃, the addition amount of the refining agent of 0.1-0.3%, the refining time of 20-30 min and the like. Because the elongation of the aluminum alloy prepared by selecting the conditions in different claims does not change greatly, only one of the combined reaction conditions is selected to show the influence of different raw material contents on the performance of the aluminum alloy obtained by the scheme.
Test example: aluminium alloy Performance testing
The tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the aluminum alloys obtained in examples 1 to 5 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were measured, and the results are shown in table 2 and fig. 2.
Table 2 test results of properties of aluminum alloys obtained in examples 1 to 5 and comparative examples 1 to 3
Figure BDA0003654495820000062
Figure BDA0003654495820000071
From the experimental data in table 2 it can be seen that: compared with the AlSi7Mg aluminum alloy, the aluminum alloy section obtained by the scheme has greatly improved tensile strength, yield strength and elongation, the tensile strength of the aluminum alloy obtained by the scheme is more than or equal to 263MPa, the yield strength of the aluminum alloy is more than or equal to 122MPa, and the elongation of the aluminum alloy is more than or equal to 11.4%, and the performance of the aluminum alloy is obviously higher than that of the existing AlSi7Mg aluminum alloy (the tensile strength of the aluminum alloy obtained by the comparative example 3 is 240MPa, the yield strength of the aluminum alloy is 106MPa, and the elongation of the aluminum alloy is 7.5%); the adverse effect of the Mg element on the elongation of the aluminum alloy can be compensated by the Mn element. As can be seen from comparison between example 3 (the elongation of the aluminum alloy obtained in example 3 is 12.7%) and example 4 (the elongation of the aluminum alloy obtained in example 4 is 14.2%, as shown in the graph of the elongation test operation of the aluminum alloy shown in fig. 2), when the content of the remaining elements is controlled and the preparation process is not changed, the elongation of the prepared aluminum alloy is reduced by excessively replacing the Mg element with the Mn element, and only by appropriately controlling the Mg content and compensating the Mg element with the Mn element, the problems of high strength and low elongation caused by excessively high Mg content can be effectively avoided, so that the elongation of the aluminum alloy is significantly improved.
The aluminum alloy material obtained by the scheme has lower magnesium and iron contents by optimizing the metal elements in the alloy; such as controlling Fe content in alloy, reducing brittleness of acicular FeAl 3 The content of the Fe, the harmful influence of the Fe is eliminated, particularly, the cracking effect of the needle-shaped compound on the die-casting aluminum alloy matrix is reduced, the elongation of the aluminum alloy material is obviously improved, the plasticity of the alloy material is improved, the manufacturing requirement of the automobile battery bottom plate tray is fully met, and the requirements of the market on aluminum alloy sectional materials with good compression resistance and impact resistance and high elongation are met.
Compared with the comparative example 1 and the comparative example 2 which are not added with rare earth elements, the aluminum alloy prepared by adding the lanthanum-cerium-rare earth mixture into the raw materials of the aluminum alloy has higher elongation and better strength performance. Because the alloy components and the structure can be optimized by adding different types of rare earth elements; the rare earth elements achieve the purpose of fine grain strengthening by purifying harmful impurity elements, refining grains and the like, and simultaneously effectively change the compound form between iron-rich multi-element metals in the die-casting aluminum alloy. For example, a proper amount of mixed lanthanum-cerium rare earth (examples 1 to 5) is added, since the rare earth elements have the functions of refining, purifying aluminum liquid and refining grain structure, and the mixed rare earth, Si, Fe and the like coexist in the grain boundary, a Si-Fe eutectic structure is formed, the morphology of the Si-Fe eutectic structure in the aluminum alloy is improved, the morphology of the Si-Fe eutectic is changed from a coarse needle shape to a fine fiber shape, and the strength of the alloy is effectively improved. In addition, by comparing examples 1-5 with comparative example 2, it can be seen that the addition of a proper amount of strontium element can effectively change the eutectic form of Si in the die-cast aluminum alloy, thereby effectively improving the elongation of the material. The research of the applicant proves that the lanthanum-cerium rare earth element and the strontium element in the scheme play a synergistic effect role in the prepared aluminum alloy, the elongation of the aluminum alloy is jointly improved, the elongation of the aluminum alloy obtained in the embodiments 1-5 is more than or equal to 11.4%, and the phenomenon that the aluminum alloy material has potential safety hazards due to stamping cracking easily caused by low elongation in the prior art is remarkably improved.

It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, several variations and modifications can be made, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicability of the patent.
